Young Journalist Scholarships: Deadline: September 12, 2008
Young Journalist Scholarships: Deadline: September 12, 2008
Formed in March 1982, the Bay Area Black Journalist Association (BABJA) is an organization of African American
media professionals and students in radio, television, print, multimedia and public relations. BABJA, a chapter of the National Association of Black journalists (NABJ), exists to serve as an advocate and beneficial network of journalists, students and media-related professionals. Goals are:
•
To develop partnerships with local media companies to ensure the hiring, retention and promotion of black
journalists,
•
To encourage and mentor black students with an interest in journalism and media,
•
And to provide a professional network for Black journalists to cultivate relationships with each other.
BABJA believes it is has a responsibility to help train the next generation of black journalists. They will eventually
become tomorrow’s leaders in our nation’s newsrooms. Most of that training takes place in our colleges and
universities and our members and supporters understand one of the biggest obstacles to receiving a college diploma is
the cost of tuition, fees and books. The scholarships will make it easier for aspiring journalists to complete their
journalism education.
